Re: deleting reminders from the I phone 4S
Thank you Eric, but when I listen to a pod cast with only one need, like the ones I've asked about, it confuses me more and by the time the pod cast gets to what I need to know, my mind is so cluttered with stuff that I didn't want or need to know, that I won't remember what it is that I wanted to know in the first place. I've never been good at learning that way. Can someone just answer the questions in baby steps without sending me to a pod cast? No disrespect, that's just not the best way for me to learn things.

Re: adobi flash player installer pop up, how do I do this?
Hi Guys. I do have a question, however. I think was talked about earlier, but I think I was too dumb to understand the answer. At least one site I go to uses flash, my church site that I sometimes access to watch services when I can't go myself. Although I can't control the volume and pause, etc., it does seem to work well enough for me to hear the service. So, if I uninstall Flash as just recommended, how can I then watch the service? I have just ignored it when the site wants to update the thing. I asked Apple about this when I was in the store last time, and he said that if I wanted to update it, I should just go to the Adobe site and update it there so I wouldn't risk any viruses. What about that. Regards, Gigi Eugenia Firth gigifi...@sbcglobal.net On May 5, 2012, at 9:27 AM, Jenny Keller wrote: > Ah, thanks for the info. > > Jenny > On May 5, 2012, at 9:23 AM, Jonathan C.

Re: adobi flash player installer pop up, how do I do this?
Hi, If your Church uses Flash, then it wouldn't work if you uninstalled it. For updating, you could either go to the Adobe site or, in your System Preferences, go to the Flash panel and update it from there. Just remember that the update process isn't very accessible anyway. I just use the tab key and spacebar to do the update that is, the tab key and spacebar without the VO keys. Later...

Trying to reinstall operating system, not sure if I did it right
I was having problems with my operating system, Lion, popping up with a log in field and no voice over even though it was set up to come on with the log in field, but it was also set to just log in without being loged in. Someone told me to reinstall Lion, using command R and holding it down until the computer booted up. Well, I did that, but I'm not sure I did it right. I told it to install Lion new, and it asked me to restart the machine so I did. what was the point of that, it seemed too easy. Did I do something wrong?

Why can't someone just answer my Ical question without confusing me with a pod cast?
I need to know what those lists like friends and family, and stuff are for. I don't understand all that stuff, though I did learn how to delete a reminder. I have a list of reminders and all of them are coming up though I thought I had other reminders. I don't see any old ones though. Anyway, Pod Casts give me too much information at one time and a lot of it I already know, or don't understand in the first place cause it's too advanced for me, or doesn't tell me what I need till my mind is so overloaded that I can't absorb any more information. Anyway, could someone just tell me in baby steps what all that is for and if you have my number, just call if you want to.

defining single key for vo keys?
Hi all, I have an odd question. Is it possible to define a single key to act as the VO keys? So, instead of holding down alt and control (whatever the mac calls them) you hold down only one? Please don't start saying that "you just want windows-like control". It's simply that hitting a single key, be it insert or not, with other keys to input commands is more streamlined and easier to do, IMHO. So, if it's possible to map VO comman keys to be something different, could anyone tell me how?

Re: Solving a capcha problem
Hi yes, you can. in most of the popular sites, you find an option to try an audio capture. you will listen a few numbers or, in some cases, words along with a lot of background speech. you should be able to type only the numbers that you hear. I would suggest you use headphones while doing this for better results. I would like to add to the question. I often don't succeed in entering the words or numbers successfully. well, am I not so good at it just yet, or are there any tips that would make this process easier? Thank you.

Re: defining single key for vo keys?
I know of no way to do this. However, you can use VO-semicolon to lock the VO keys on. It's a toggle, so you can press it again to turn it off. HTH, Teresa I'm a pantheist; I worship Pan.

Re: defining single key for vo keys?
And if you are looking for a way to navigate without having to hold those keys down you always have quick nav, trackpad commander, and numpad commander assuming you have a numberpad on your keyboard.

How do I save a voice memo sent from my wife's iPhone?
guys, My wife recorded the sound of some frogs outside our home a few days ago as a voice memo on her iPhone. I asked her to e-mail it to me. the e-mail arrived and I can hear the memo. However, I'd like to save the attachment and delete the e-mail. How do I import this into my voice memos on my iPhone from Mac Mail? thanks, Kevin -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Re: Why can't someone just answer my Ical question without confusing me with a pod cast?
Have you tried reading the help files? THey contain a lot of information and there is also Google. You really expect someone to produce a step-by-step tutorial on iCal just for you? No offense, but it seems to me that you have not researched the questions very thoroughly on your own and just want to be spoon-fed the information. Asking for help is fine and encouraged, but it seems that you would ask only when you have already tried finding the answers elsewhere. There are plenty of resources and the podcast someone suggested is a great way to learn how to use an app. Of course then you seem to get cross with folks because they won't just give you what you want when you want it and I hope you understand you are being unfair to those who are providing you the resources.

Re: How do I save a voice memo sent from my wife's iPhone?
Would you not want to just add it to iTune? Is there any particular reason you would want to save it in the voice memo app? Btw, I am not aware of a way to do this. Your best bet is to add it to iTunes and make a handy playlist called something like "Sounds of Frogs" or "My Bride's Audible Treasures', or something along those lines. :) On May 5, 2012, at 1:16 PM, Kevin Gibbs wrote: > guys, > My wife recorded the sound of some frogs outside our home a few days > ago as a voice memo on her iPhone.

Re: Trying to reinstall operating system, not sure if I did it right
Surely it could not have taken you five hours to install Lion. That is impossible. Maybe to install Lion, set everything up, and install all of your apps, but even then something just doesn't add up.

Firefox, Was Re: Solving a capcha problem
It's now possible to solve these in Firefox. However, the nightly builds are not stable, and if you think the "busy" messages are annoying in Safari, they are much more frequent in Firefox. I have succeeded in getting the WebVisum extension, but at the moment, it may be more trouble than it's worth, depending on your willingness to tough it out. I'm going to try this the next time I have to solve one, though. My other option is to use Firefox in Linux with Fusion, which works quite nicely. Here's the URL with the Firefox nightly builds: http://nightly.mozilla.org/ Teresa "Slow down; you'll get there faster."

Re: opening or closing a series of apps at once?
I'm unfamiliar with the steps involved in writing and running a script. However, if I could link this script to a Keyboard Commander shortcut, that would be perfect. I'm assuming I write a file with such commands as tell application "mail" to open and then place that file somewhere, or change its permissions such that it executes instead of opens to an editor? I'm intrigued; thanks. • Mark BurningHawk Baxter • AIM, Skype and Twitter: BurningHawk1969 • MSN: burninghawk1...@hotmail.com • My home page: • http://MarkBurningHawk.net/ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Toggle would be cool, cause then the same key could do both functions. and, it'd be a great exercise for me; would you mind the time? • Mark BurningHawk Baxter • AIM, Skype and Twitter: BurningHawk1969 • MSN: burninghawk1...@hotmail.com • My home page: • http://MarkBurningHawk.net/ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Re: Trying to reinstall operating system, not sure if I did it right
I don't know yet, I only turned on my computer once since then and it went directly to the desk top, but that doesn't mean anything, it only means that it hasn't had time to act weird yet. We'll see the next time I shut down and turn it back on. Keep your fingers crossed.

RE: Trying to reinstall operating system, not sure if I did it right
Hi, I highly doubt you needed to reinstall for that. That's a known issue in Lion, where Voiceover will not speak at the login field, even though it's set to. In fact, there are bugs with VO starting on startup in lion in general. I've reported them to Apple for investigation, so perhaps they'll be addressed in Mountain Lion. -Original Message- From: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com [mailto:macvisionaries@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Jenny Keller Sent: Saturday, May 05, 2012 2:44 PM To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Trying to reinstall operating system, not sure if I did it right I don't know yet, I only turned on my computer once since then and it went directly to the desk top, but that doesn't mean anything, it only means that it hasn't had time to act weird yet.

free m4a to mp3?
Hi, Is there a program or utility out there that is accessible that will allow me to highlight a file then go into the context menu to convert it to mp3. Example, If I have something in dropbox that needs to be converted, I don't want to go into itunes. I'd like to be able to highlight it and convert. If there's something out there, where do I get it and how do I install it? Thanks, When I was using windows, I used a program called switch. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

RE: Trying to reinstall operating system, not sure if I did it right
LOL! That is an understatement: VO start-up under lion being buggy. A few months ago, I did a clean install to see if it would help, but as far as I was concerned, the clean install had way more quirks than my upgrade install. Thank God for Carbon Copy Cloner; I just restored my original lion install, and have resigned myself to dealing with VO's quirks. Every time a lion update is released, I keep hoping they'll fix whatever they broke, but so far, no dice. I'm a bit nervous about Mountain Lion, but hopefully it will end up being better than Lion. I guess only time will tell. I guess the poit is that I agree with Daniel; reinstalling lion to fix that 1 little quirk was probably overkill, but at least Apple has made the OS installation accessible, so if nothing else, I suppose it was good mac practice. -Original Message- From: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com [mailto:macvisionaries@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Daniel Miller Sent: Saturday, May 05, 2012 3:47 PM To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com Subject: RE: Trying to reinstall operating system, not sure if I did it right Hi, I highly doubt you needed to reinstall for that.

RE: Trying to reinstall operating system, not sure if I did it right
Oh, don't get me wrong, I believe it's an understatement. But, apple does learn from things that are buggy in a previous release, for the most part. I'm also hoping things are fixed in ML, as well as the stupid bug that prohibits us from accessing the wifi menu in recovery. -Original Message- From: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com [mailto:macvisionaries@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Missy Hoppe Sent: Saturday, May 05, 2012 2:51 PM To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com Subject: RE: Trying to reinstall operating system, not sure if I did it right LOL!

Re: Why can't someone just answer my Ical question without confusing me with a pod cast?
If I knew where to look for that information I wouldn't inconvenience anyone with my question. As far as wanting to be spoon fed, I can't help if I've tried to learn things by pod casts and it completely overwhelms me and I end up more frustrated and confused than I started out. If that's the way people feel on this list, then tell me then, what is this list for then if we can't ask simple questions and get simple answers. If I'm going to be treated in this manner, I'll just not ask anything and consider unsubscribing to this list altogether if it is too inconvenient for me to ask questions without just being handed a pod cast. That, in my opinion, is taking the lazy way out anyway, cause it prevents you from having to lower yourself to answer such a simple and insignificant question. Again, what is this list for if you can't get simple and understandable answers to simple questions. If I wanted a pod cast, I would've looked one up. Excuse me for bothering those of you that are just too good to answer my simple question. Again, I'll just not say anything and again, if I can't get answers to simple questions, but others do't get treated that way, then this list will certainly leave my inbox.

Re: Trying to reinstall operating system, not sure if I did it right
It was almost like it just booted up normally. I didn't know how to do it, so I probably did it wrong. But o yes, there must be a pod cast for that too since my questions are too inconvenient for the listers to answer and I need to be spoon fed and am too lazy aparently to look it up.

FIrst let me tell you lady I am anything but lazy and I think a lot of people have made a considerable amount of effort to help you on this list. You know Jenny with that damned attitude you cannot possibly expect help. FOr the love of God can't you at least indicate that you tried to find the bloddy answer first THe way you ask all of your questions indicates to me that you have not even attempted to look at the help files etc. You do know how to use the search facilities on GOogle do you not? Do you know how to use the help facilities in the application? You know some of your questions are so confusing that it is not even clear what you are talking about at times. I should know better than to even waste time encouraging you to do the research because this is exactly the type of response I should expect. You most definitely come across as though you want to be fed the information just in the way you post your messages. No one minds helping you, but at least demonstrate you have tried. As far as the podcast is concerned I am truly unclear as to how you become more confused. You talk about how it is not the way you learn, so then explain how you do learn. You cannot expect folks on the list to know your learning style and sit down to write mini tutorials with "step 1 open the application" etc. If that is what you want then say so, otherwise how does anyone know how to feed you information. So I guess I'll just be to lazy to lower myself to help you in the future and your crappy attitude certainly took care of that. Good luck, you're going to need it.

Is it a bug in Lion that sometimes, it will go to the log in screen and sometimes, it will just go to the desktop? that was the major problem.

Using fetchmail in mac osx
I have installed alpine as my mail client in the terminal. I have established an imap connection to a gmail account. I would like to use fetchmail so it can fetch mail to be available when I use alpine. For reasons not important here, I first save all the messages and then read them. The current imap connection takes a long time to import the entire message locally. Thanks. XB -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Re: Why can't someone just answer my Ical question without confusing me with a pod cast?
I do believe that this is getting a little bit out of hand here. Jenny, My best advice to you is this. The best way to learn to use any app is to just jump in and make use of it and be willing to make a mistake a time or two. How else you gonna learn anything about it? My best advice for seaking help is that you consult the built in help for the apps you want help with when mere use and exploration seem not to get it done for you. Honestly, it's not that we mind helping you, but, to be spoon fed the information all the time is, quite frankly, not the best way to learn; indeed, it is most likely the worst. I would suggest that you take a step back from this and keep in mind the points that Scot raises here. He does have some good points to make, and, I think that if you just step back from the emotion of the moment and give things a try, you will shock yourself at what you will learn and how quickly.

Re: Why can't someone just answer my Ical question without confusing me with a pod cast?
You know, Scot, I agree with most all your points; but, I really do believe we could do without the emotional aspect of this. It ain't helpin' anybody. I guess maybe she'll either catch on or not.

Re: Why can't someone just answer my Ical question without confusing me with a pod cast?
I have worked in the Assistive Training field, and there is evidence that people have different ways of learning. I had some clients who needed their fingers placed on the keys in order to get the hang of a concept, and others who just asked me to leave them alone for half an hour while they practiced. My guess is, Jenny, that you may need individual training. Depending on the warranty that came with your Mac, you may be able to get individualized training at an Apple Store or from an Access Tech Trainer. I think you might benefit from this a lot. The problem with a list like this is that it mostly lends itself to quick answers for quick questions. If questions are stated clearly and coherently, with a specific task in mind, it's easier to help the questioner. If the question is too vague or there are too many in one post, it's difficult for both the questioner and the person responding to make sense of everything. When I send a question to the list, I ask myself: "what specifically do I want to accomplish." If I'm so confused that I'm not sure what to do first, or if I'm very frustrated, taking a break from the situation without posting helps me gain perspective on my problem. hTh, Teresa On May 5, 2012, at 1:29 PM, Ray Foret Jr wrote: > You know, Scot, I agree with most all your points; but, I really do believe > we could do without the emotional aspect of this.

Re: How do I save a voice memo sent from my wife's iPhone?
Hi, if you control click on the voice memo file in the email, is there an option to save as? If so, you could save it somewhere, then use ITunes' "Add To Library" function to navigate to where you saved the file, then hit ok. It should then be in your iTunes Library.

Fine, since everyone else can ask questions and not be abused and berated on this list. I'll be happy to unsubscribe.

Re: Why can't someone just answer my Ical question without confusing me with a pod cast?
Hi all, I'm not seeing the family and friends stuff that she's seeing. I wonder if this is a new feature in Lion. I do have delegates on the left hand side, as well as work or home calendars. I don't have any family or friend options. I'm guessing this is a new feature of iCal in 10.7. I'm still running 10.6.8 here.

activity monitor is like process viewer in windows when pressing ctrl - alt - del. depending on how windows was configured to behave. if you know the app in question, it's also identified as an activity. first off, interact with the main window list, arrow down to the app in question, stop interacting, then interact with the tool bar and VO space on quit process. lew On 5 May 2012, at 22:07, Rahul Bajaj wrote: > Traci, > > Thanks a ton for your help. > But the thing is that I don't know how to force quit an app by using > Activity Monitor. > So, I would be extremely grateful if you could inform me about the > process of doing that. > > On 04/05/2012, Traci wrote: >> Hello, this is a frustrating part of MenuTab. >> >> The only way I know how to get out of this no windows thing, is to go to >> Activity monitor and force quit the app. When you go back to applications >> and hit command-O to open MenuTab, it should say something like MenuTab, >> quit app has focus.

Re: MenuTab
Hi, I tried doing that, but the issue is that MenuTab is not in the list of apps in that table. On most occasions, when I open MenuTab after starting my Mac, VO says that no windows thing. And, like I said, I can't even force quit it because it is not in the list of apps in Activity Monitor. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Re: MenuTab
could you go into system preferences, then go into accounts, your username and then find the tab saying "Login items" you should then see the app in question. you can disable it you highlight the app and then voiceover to "remove" or delete. an icon outside of the window with the apps in question. this removes the login function for the app. further to this, it's a question of finding the associated components of menutab and deleting it. let me know how this goes. lew On 5 May 2012, at 22:24, Rahul Bajaj wrote: > Hi, > > I tried doing that, but the issue is that MenuTab is not in the list of apps > in that table. > On most occasions, when I open MenuTab after starting my Mac, VO says that no > windows thing. > And, like I said, I can't even force quit it because it is not in the list of > apps in Activity Monitor. > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "MacVisionaries" group. > To post to this group, send email to macvisionaries@googlegroups.com. > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to > macvisionaries+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com. > For more options, visit this group at > http://groups.google.com/group/macvisionaries?hl=en. > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Re: defining single key for vo keys?
Alex, I'm not sure how much navigation you are looking to accomplish with a single key, but quick nav does provide a considerable amount of flexibility. COnsider that you can use the VO rotor via left and up arrow or right arrow and up arrow to change options such as by word, character, etc. You use the up/down arrows to move by the option selected in the rotor. I use this instead of the commanders. THe great thing is that VO provides several ways to accomplish the same thing. On May 5, 2012, at 4:47 PM, Alex Hall wrote: > True.

It's simply that hitting a single key, be it insert or not, with other keys to input commands is more streamlined and easier to do, IMHO.

Re: Installing I downloaded ring tone
if you have the ringtones stored by email, first download the attached files. these either go to "downloads" or "Documents" from there, you copy the selected tracks into the following directory: /users/USERNAME/music/itunes/itunes media/ringtones. if the "ringtones" directory does not exist, create it. then paste the files in. from this point, launch itunes and then import the ringtones from that folder to your library. this then updates and your ringtones are visable ready to transfer to your iphone. lew On 5 May 2012, at 22:30, Beefcakes wrote: > > > Cakes > > On May 5, 2012, at 5:24 PM, "alberto hi Alberto, okay well I take your word > for it.

Re: How do I save a voice memo sent from my wife's iPhone?
Actually that would likely work. You can save the attachment by going to the menu, VO-m or control-f2 and choose file. You will find the option for saving the attachment there. YOu can also find this in the header area of the message. Once you save the file to the drive you can import it into iTUnes. On May 5, 2012, at 4:49 PM, Louie P.

Re: Moderator, Please deal with this
oh boy. it is my considered opinion that there is no such thing as a stupid question. and yes, some of us have differing methods to learn the same things and these methods can be difficult to understand because they are unique to the individual. take me, for instance... I am totally blind AND a dyslexic. so, my brain processes the printed (broiled) word differently from those who are not dyslexic. simply because of this one difference, the way I ask questions and search for information may be slightly different. believe me when I say it, google is not all that friendly when it comes to searches. if you add one too many words or use the wrong word, your searches will yield unexpected results. sometimes an operator word (such as and, or, if) can balloon the results to such an extent that the search is meaningless. come to think of it, I may want to sit down and develop a podcast to teach how to do proper searches using google. anyway, simply dismissing someone and saying they are being spoon fed is rude. if you have a problem with people who need this method for whatever reason, then don't bloody respond. now, I had to go through this for a long time with a friend of mine. it took me a very long time to learn (and then get comfortable with) and use google effectively. there are still times where the amount of extraneous information is so high that searching becomes an exercise in frustration. so, if anyone on here asks a question, try to help them, not berate them. just my thoughts -eric On May 5, 2012, at 1:35 PM, Jenny Keller wrote: > I'm not sure exactly who the moderator of this list is, but I would > appreciate it if this situation could be handled promptly. > > I shouldn't have to be treated like this on this list. > > I am sending a copy of a message I received from someone on this list and I > would appreciate it if you would take care of this, one way or another. > > FIrst let me tell you lady I am anything but lazy and I think a lot of people > have made a considerable amount of effort to help you on this list.

Re: opening or closing a series of apps at once?
Generally you open "Applescript Editor" and then put the text into the edit box, and hit run. This will "compile" and run the script. Then you can quit once you don't get errors. There are actually a few ways to save the script, but if you want to be able to edit it again, you want to leave the default type of .scpt which has If you save the script in ~/Library/Scripts/ or perhaps a subdirectory of that directory.

Re: Ical question
I mostly use the home calendar, since I'm at home most of the time. There are other items in the calendar list, such as Facebook, ICloud, Gmail, and Meetup. I think these were added when I added activities from these categories to ICal. I'm using Lion, and I still haven't come across Friends and Family.

If that's the way people feel on this list, then tell me then, what is this list for then if we can't ask simple questions and get simple answers.

Re: free m4a to mp3?
Hi Stacy I have recently purchased a very accessible mp3 converter called "mp3 converter" from the app store. It was about $5 NZ so not expensive. You have to go into the app, add the files you want to convert and it does it. Very easy to use and not expensive. It takes all sorts of formats and converts them to MP3. You can't just point at a file and do the convert from there - you have to go into the app itself to do it but it does a nice job with lots of sample rate choices. And you can do multiple files at once.

Re: opening or closing a series of apps at once?
OK, to have state in a script you need to define a "property" So the first line would look like: property myRunning : false Then you could have the script text itself say if myRunning then - Things are running set myRunning to false tell application "bang" to quit else set myRunning to true tell application "Bar" to activate end if I once started investigating using this logic to capture two VoiceOver cursor positions and select the text between them, but I could not figure out the voiceover cursor object enough.

Re: Trying to reinstall operating system, not sure if I did it right
I can't say to much here because of my agreement with the dev team. But I can say you will be pleasantly surprised with mountain lion.

Re: defining single key for vo keys?
90% of what I need to do can be done with the numpad commander. I did add two additional keystrokes to the default Lion commander. 1. On the "3" key I added the jump command that gets executed with VO-J 2. With the Enter key I have it set to toggle betweenWeb dom and group mode. The defaults are 1. Item chooser 2. down 3. Jump 4. Left 5. Default action (same as vo-space) 6. Right 7. Interact with item 8 up 9 . Stop Interacting The 3 keys on the top row above 789 are Doc, Menu , and window chooser The plus key brings up the contextual menu. I also use the insert + numpad keys for getting to next/previous heading, link, visited link, table, control and hot spot. If there is a specific function you need help with, I can probably tell you where it is. Best wishes, Jonathan Jonathan C. Cohn jonc...@cox.net On May 5, 2012, at 4:47 PM, Alex Hall wrote: > True.

Re: Using fetchmail in mac osx
I am sorry was there a question here? The closedest I see to a question is the statement that fetchmail is taking a long time. I would expect that 99.5% of this list have never used fetchmail. If you are fetching all your mail everytime, that is certainly not efficient, and probably means you have a bit to delete each time too. Can Fetchmail tag or move a message that it has fetched so it does not retrieve it next time? Best wwishes, Jonathan Jonathan C.

RE: Moderator, Please deal with this
Wow, that was harsh. From: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com [mailto:macvisionaries@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Jenny Keller Sent: Saturday, May 05, 2012 1:35 PM To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com Subject: Moderator, Please deal with this I'm not sure exactly who the moderator of this list is, but I would appreciate it if this situation could be handled promptly. I shouldn't have to be treated like this on this list. I am sending a copy of a message I received from someone on this list and I would appreciate it if you would take care of this, one way or another. FIrst let me tell you lady I am anything but lazy and I think a lot of people have made a considerable amount of effort to help you on this list. You know Jenny with that damned attitude you cannot possibly expect help. FOr the love of God can't you at least indicate that you tried to find the bloddy answer first THe way you ask all of your questions indicates to me that you have not even attempted to look at the help files etc. You do know how to use the search facilities on GOogle do you not? Do you know how to use the help facilities in the application? You know some of your questions are so confusing that it is not even clear what you are talking about at times. I should know better than to even waste time encouraging you to do the research because this is exactly the type of response I should expect. You most definitely come across as though you want to be fed the information just in the way you post your messages. No one minds helping you, but at least demonstrate you have tried. As far as the podcast is concerned I am truly unclear as to how you become more confused. You talk about how it is not the way you learn, so then explain how you do learn. You cannot expect folks on the list to know your learning style and sit down to write mini tutorials with "step 1 open the application" etc. If that is what you want then say so, otherwise how does anyone know how to feed you information. So I guess I'll just be to lazy to lower myself to help you in the future and your crappy attitude certainly took care of that. Good luck, you're going to need it.

As far as wanting to be spoon fed, I can't help if I've tried to learn things by pod casts and it completely overwhelms me and I end up more frustrated and confused than I started out. If that's the way people feel on this list, then tell me then, what is this list for then if we can't ask simple questions and get simple answers. If I'm going to be treated in this manner, I'll just not ask anything and consider unsubscribing to this list altogether if it is too inconvenient for me to ask questions without just being handed a pod cast. That, in my opinion, is taking the lazy way out anyway, cause it prevents you from having to lower yourself to answer such a simple and insignificant question. Again, what is this list for if you can't get simple and understandable answers to simple questions. If I wanted a pod cast, I would've looked one up. Excuse me for bothering those of you that are just too good to answer my simple question. Again, I'll just not say anything and again, if I can't get answers to simple questions, but others do't get treated that way, then this list will certainly leave my inbox.

You really expect someone to produce a step-by-step tutorial on iCal just for you? No offense, but it seems to me that you have not researched the questions very thoroughly on your own and just want to be spoon-fed the information. Asking for help is fine and encouraged, but it seems that you would ask only when you have already tried finding the answers elsewhere. There are plenty of resources and the podcast someone suggested is a great way to learn how to use an app. Of course then you seem to get cross with folks because they won't just give you what you want when you want it and I hope you understand you are being unfair to those who are providing you the resources.

Anyway, Pod Casts give me too much information at one time and a lot of it I already know, or don't understand in the first place cause it's too advanced for me, or doesn't tell me what I need till my mind is so overloaded that I can't absorb any more information.

Re: defining single key for vo keys?

Hi Anne: This was very useful information but I have a question about it. We were on a web page that had several headings, all of which had a read more link.

Mudding on the mac.
Hi everyone! I enjoy playing various muds, and was wondering what my options were in terms of accessible mud clients. I know that muds could theoretically be played in the terminal, and was wondering whether or not anyone has tried this. As I'm sure many of you know, mudding successfully requires a lot of information to be read to you automatically so that you can quickly keep track of room descriptions, your status during a battle, etc. Do either the terminal or any other stand alone mud clients read incoming information automatically? Thanks so much. Allison -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group. To post to this group, send email to macvisionaries@googlegroups.com.

Re: Mudding on the mac.
Hi Allison,
I have been reasonably successful using tintin in terminal. I had to play with
the VO cursor settings some but here is the configuration I like and have saved
as an activity.:
Keyboard follows VO cursor: Yes
VO follows keyboard cursor: No
Insertion point follows VO cursor: Yes
VO follows insertion point: no
Basically, I can't find a way to keep VO from interrupting itself when new info
hits the screen, but setting up your cursors this way means that you will not
lose your place even though new text has been added below the point where your
cursor is.
Tintin also has a nice scripting ability built in. I have found it helpful to
gag blank lines, effectively cutting down on the number of times VO might need
to interrupt itself when a new line comes in. The way to gag a blank line in
Tintin is:
#gag {^$}
I have also gagged all kinds of other unnecessary spam and am working on ways
to display critical info that are spoken faster.
These approaches have made mudding viable for me on the mac, even if it is not
quite what things were on the windows side.
HTH

Moderator note - questions on the list and getting along as adults
Hello everyone; It's late here and I will give this recent list situation the attention it deserves. However, may I please ask, until tomorrow, that you all please consider being the adults that you are and taking the opportunity to get along with eachother. Here's what this means. • think before you respond. Please don't just retaliate if you feel like you weren't understood. • Be calm in your responses. When you do respond to someone, please explain yourself clearly and calmly. • Avoid name-calling or accusing others of anything. This is not your right here. and this applies to everyone. • If you think you're 'right' in a particular discussion, then be comfortable with that and know that you don't need to tell others this on the list. Just be content… Okay, please keep the above in mind. I'll address this issue in-depth tomorrow. Good night All and please be kind and respectful of eachother… Thank you, Cara :) --- View my Online Portfolio at: http://www.onemodelplace.com/CaraQuinn Follow me on Twitter! https://twitter.com/ModelCara -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.
